Fun, dumb movie
The big surprise here is how often Milla's breasts were put on display in a PG-13 movie. Sure, cleavage and underboob are to be expected, but she takes it all off--once briefly, once a bit blurry, and only once out of frame. The movie itself? It's part parody, part satire--Terry Gilliam's Brazil if Terry Gilliam had just watched Die Hard 1 through 3 the eighty-second time. There's really two movies here, and it can't decide which one it wants to be more... so it splits right down the middle. It's both! Also, a lot of the violence is bloody--but with funny colors, so that's supposed to be okay. A lot of the characters show the consequences of violence... I mean, watch Milla get shot and moan, and it twists your stomach. Weak acting or not. Luc Besson is one of the most stylish light-weight directors out there, and it really shows. This movie wants to be more, and that really helps push past the comedy and put a little bit of depth into it... even though it's still a movie about 'ultimate evil' versus 'the pure light,' and love does conquer all in the end.

One of the best movies
A lot of intense action and violence but idea and final outcome - sacrifice - is worth watching movie.

Great!
I love this movie, and it's great fun to watch. There's minor sexual content, mostly a girl changing while two people stand in front of her (this happens a few time, and is played for jokes). A fair amount of language, but I don't even think they drop the f-bomb at all. It's really not all that violent either.
